Gas compressor

Abstract

A gas compressor device ( 2 ) comprising a motor having a rotatable motor shaft ( 18 ), a rotating disk ( 6 ) attached to the motor shaft ( 18 ), and a compressor ( 10 ) comprising pistons ( 8 ), piston rods ( 62 ), cylinders ( 50 ), and the rotating disk ( 6 ) has a top contour such that, as the disk ( 6 ) turns, a piston rod ( 62 ) having a roller ( 78 ) which is in moveable contact with the top contour of the disk ( 6 ) will start at a low elevation ( 42 ), pass gradually to a higher elevation ( 44 ), reach a peak ( 46 ), and pass rapidly back to the low elevation ( 42 ).

       4 . The gas compressor device of  claim 2 , wherein the motor is within a motor housing having a top surface and a lower end and a frame mount is connected to the motor housing, which frame mount has a lower end and an upper end.  
   
   
       5 . The gas compressor device of  claim 4 , wherein the lower end of the frame mount is attached to the motor housing, the upper end of the frame mount has a horizontal member which serves as an attachment base for the at least one cylinder of the gas compressor, and the horizontal member contains an opening for each piston rod.  
   
   
       6 . The gas compressor device of  claim 5 , wherein the openings of the horizontal members contain inserts having reduced friction.  
   
   
       7 . The gas compressor device of  claim 6 , wherein the cross-section of the piston rods and the openings of the horizontal members are non-circular in shape.  
   
   
       8 . The gas compressor device of  claim 5 , wherein each piston rod passes through a spring containing an upper end and a lower end, the upper end being fixedly connected to the lower surface of the piston and the lower end being fixedly connected to the horizontal member of the frame mount.  
   
   
       9 . The gas compressor device of  claim 1 , wherein the lower end of the motor housing has a fan attached thereto.  
   
   
       10 . The gas compressor device of  claim 3 , wherein support rollers are fixedly attached to the top surface of the motor housing which rollers abut with the lower surface of the rotatable disk and support the rotatable disk.  
   
   
       11 . The gas compressor device of  claim 1 , wherein the rotatable motor shaft is centrally located in and is fixedly connected to a first, central gear, the first gear meshes with a second, transfer gear, the second gear meshes with a third, disk drive gear, and the third gear is fixedly located in the lower section of the rotating disk.  
   
   
       12 . The gas compressor device of  claim 4 , wherein the device has a wall having an inner surface, the rotatable disk is attached to the inner surface of the device wall, and the rotatable disk is supported by two sets of collars which contain bracelet bearings.  
   
   
       13 . The gas compressor device of  claim 1 , wherein the compressor has an upper end, which upper end contains a turbine or blower fan within a housing container.  
   
   
       14 . The gas compressor device of  claim 13 , wherein the turbine or blower fan forces air at the rate of at least 450 liters per minute-15. The gas compressor device of  claim 13 , wherein the housing container contains a filter for the gas.
